“Over the years I have forced Bob to tell me so many of the epic Andy Kaufman stories. I was able to spend a lot of time with Bob when he was working with Milos Forman and Jim Carrey on the biopic of Andy, Man on the Moon. Jim Carrey dreamed of getting this role and I was with him running the camera when he made a video taped audition at his home in character as Andy... I also want to thank Bob for giving my first job in comedy. He allowed me to enter a world I dreamed of being a part of since I was ten and was always warm and kind to me, even when I was a little runt who he should have mistreated and abused.”
